Be honest. It's one of the few things in life you can control.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but it doesn't happen like this,.....


One day I went to the zoo,
The feeling was new,
Everything was silent,
As the man turned violent.

There was no roar, there was no noise,
What happened to the zoo,
May be the cause was an unknown death,
Life seems like a pause, as fauna hold it’s breath.

The cause was loss of life,
The extincting wildlife,
It was the result of human rage,
Suddenly I saw an empty cage.

And as I peeped inside, I looked..
Reading a note my head shook.
“it is for u” as the note said,
The man was moving so fast, he was too ahead,
He left the nature behind,
He forgot that once he was kind.
Imagining myself in the empty cage,
Behind the bars for an age,
Makes me wonder how will I stop this rage,
Cause in future there will be no homes to live
But only the empty cage..

this poetry is about the extincting wildlife, the one which is being neglected by us....the empty cage is for the man referring all of us...who are instead of saving the wildlife,so it's better we take an action now before going behind bars in that empty cage...which is waiting for u..
